Coal is probably the only black thing that the current Republican Party embraces or even likes.

Victor? Do you mean Vincent?

If so, Trump is Hans Reinhardt redux and we are swiftly approaching the event horizon.

So the guy who came here only two months ago and immediately started to post five straight articles, all about Iran, along with 3/4ths of his comments says he's not an Israeli hasbarist troll, just some normal, run of the mill American libertarian.

Thanks for confirming you are an Israeli hasbarist troll, R5D4.

R5D4 suggested this same thing just a few days ago. Obviously an Israeli hasbarist troll weakly posing as American military. What else is new?

R5D4 adds his expected and predictable hasbara to the proceedings.

"Surely you are not blaming all of them for what a handful of politicians have done"

Using the language of absolutes in order to downplay the Boomer generation's significant culpability regarding the multiple messes the country currently faces doesn't add much to the discussion.

"Boomers did no such thing"

Boomers have been running the show in America for what, the past 40+ years? Boomers have won 8 of 9 presidential elections (Clinton, Obama, Trump, and Bush). Boomers inhabit more than 60 of the 100 seats in the current U.S. Senate. Boomers have been the largest age group in the electorate since the early '80s. Boomers have wielded continuous cultural and political power longer than any previous generation in US history. Boomers came into their senior years as healthier and wealthier than any other senior group in American history, ensuring continued dominance in both culture and politics well into their 70s and now, 80s. And a good argument can be made that Boomers have had more time, energy and resources at their disposal to continually enrich themselves at the expense of the current-day working class and of tomorrow's children, teens and young professionals.

While Iran plays chess, Schnitzkrieg plays Hi Ho Cherry-O!

Iran didn't "pull" anyone into war.

"The military used to be entirely self sufficient""

It started outsourcing mess hall ops around the same time the US government started outsourcing its foreign policy.

"I'll put my ASVAB score against yours, if that would help"

In 1977 my Dad was part of a working group that analyzed and reinterpreted ASVAB scores. I think he mentioned that the test was found to overvalue the mental acuity of some (the idiots) and underestimate the acuity of others (the gifted), and so he was charged to help fix it. R5D4's probably one of the former who got in before the corrections were made.

Trump has Operation Barbarossa Syndrome (OBS). Happens to every psychopathic dictator (or wannabe).

"One wonders when the site administrators on drudge.com finally close 'rf4b' down?

It's one of those "Libertarians Except for the Levant" or "Progressives Except for Palestine" zionist bots that have long infested the DR.

...

"Typical Colonialist Behavior."

The Mummies- The Fly

Talk about the worst pedophile in all of religious history: Adam had sex with Eve when she was only one day old. And the result of that union? A fratricidal maniac who got expelled from the family but eventually found and married his sister and beget a people who eventually became the core cult members of MAGA.

"ID the phony liberals "

They might be liberal but they come across as gatekeeping fascists.

Overweight, white, bald liberal boomer gatekeeping wannabe fascists" who wear suspenders, lol!

Actually, I base this stereotypical profile on a certain computer science professor I had at the University of Maryland back in 2011. I heard he's retired now and lives with his poor wife and cats in Florida, of all places. He literally went insane after Trump won in 2024. He used to jaw incessantly about how great Hillary was and how she would president after Obama, but I kinda feel sorry for him now. We had some good discussions until he started abusing a fellow student just because they voted Green in the midterms.

Corio, a spam-bot is a spam-bot, even if it is human.
I am the unfortunate bearer of a peculiar form of Spidey-sense, so I get a tingling sensation when certain types of spam-bots are around. The right-wingers are easiest to spot and deconstruct. But if they are from the liberal side, it is more of a challenge. Still, I have a specific profile in mind when I encounter them online. It's a pretty disturbing profile.

One thing that always comes into my mind is that they wear suspenders, lol!

If oneironaut digs that hole he's in any deeper, he's gonna end up back in China.

Love your enemies and hate your friends. Especially if they drink up all the beer. That's my motto.

"You're saying the Ayatollah is better than these three?""

Madbomber needs a slightly-brown Muslim in a robe and turban in his top 3 evil men list in order to feel validated. Three white boomers in suits with bad hairdos doesn't cut it.

Trump has long since exhibited the profile of a serial rapist- someone who takes without asking first, or who takes despite being told no. This profile continues to exist in his actions and words as president.

The only thing I'm surprised about is that no one ever bothered to give him a swift, sharp knee to the nuts. But maybe they have and it didn't affect him because he has none to begin with.

"And I could swing by Lichtenstein and buy some false teeth first"

LOL! We joke about Liechtenstein all the time. About 20 years ago there were some Swiss infanteristen who were doing some night-time training near the border- they got lost for a few hours and found that they accidentally invaded the country without it even knowing.

Liechtenstein is also the only country in recent history to have their army go off to fight in a war and have it return with more soldiers than it originally sent.

I don't know. Emmental area? We go there to buy cheese and then picnic on the way back home. Its beautiful country but I can't recall any islands there. The islands I am familiar with are mostly between Lucerne and Zurich. Historically, my family is from that area. Hergiswil.

In Geneva? Not sure. There is one on Ufenau in the northeast, a bit south of Zurich. Near Freyenbach. I remember that as a kid. You cross some bridge and you can see a church over there.

I've seen raw milk in vending machines in various locations around Switzerland. There is a label on the front of each machine that encourages boiling before consumption, LOL.

Just sayin'
